So you despise The Bachelor and everything it stands for?? I do too, but sometimes I can’t avoid watching a train wreck. 😉 If you don’t want to watch or can’t watch for some reason, I’ll be blogging the stars as they’re announced.

Patience though – on high traffic days like I expect Monday will be, the site will post slowly, so please don’t tell me who’s in the cast during the show, particularly in the comments. I’ll know, it just might take it a few minutes to show up on the site.

I'm a nerd and proud of it. Two degrees in geology also means I love BEER. :-) I'm also a Derek lover - proud of that too. So don't scream at those of us on this site and call us a bunch of "biased Derek-lovers" - it's just ME. :-) It may sound like I hate DWTS at times, but really, I'm just a snarky nitpicker from way back. And I'm cynical and jaded too. But I do love DWTS. :-)

Joanie,
No worries, I’m quite sure that Heidi will be working her Magic once the celebrities are announced and putting together a list of likely pairings between the celebrities and the pros. Should be fun to see how many couples she can predict.

Oh the pressure. How did you know I was going to do that. I’ve got several plans for my live blogging and that was one of them. Of course, I’l revise once the whole cast is announced, and the producers CLAIM they are changing up the pairings, making them not as obvious. We’ll see about that. There are somethings they can’t resist – like putting Derek with a 30-something mommy type or putting Maks with the “Diva” type. I can’t wait.
